Stable platform with valuable case management capabilities
We use Everest Blueriq for a food safety organization, that revolves around automating and managing complex processes critical to ensuring food safety and compliance. It involves monitoring containers for pests and diseases before allowing entry into the EU. The platform plays a vital role in…

Automation platforms streamline processes and offer flexibility, but AI integration and version upgrades pose challenges
In the technology world, there is always room for improvement. Technologies evolve day by day, especially with the emergence of artificial intelligence and generative AI models. Although IBM BPM is a substantial product, adopting and integrating new technologies quickly is not easy due to the migration and upgrade paths involved. Every time new versions are released, we face business and production challenges that make rapid adoption challenging. The main concern bothering me today regarding IBM BPM is the integration of AI components.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The biggest benefit of using the product is identifying the issues, enabling a more flexible working method."
"There are two or three valuable features, like BPM."
"Compliance with the BPMN 2.0 standard."
"We can scale by increasing the infrastructure which is currently running."
"It is efficient in reducing costs."
"The integration and design are valuable features."
"IBM's deployment box is one huge black box. We can create all the services with our own code or without a codebase, however, we have a huge amount of space with practically no limitation."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to customize your rules and put them inside the tool."
"IBM BPM is stable."
 

Cons

"The platform's initial setup process could be better."
"Some of the features are not enough for my business. We need to build custom user management for the many end users affected by BPM."
"Although IBM BPM is a substantial product, adopting and integrating new technologies quickly is not easy due to the migration and upgrade paths involved."
"I hope IBM uses something from IBM Content Navigator to make the interface easier to navigate."
"Importing and exporting between multiple environments is more difficult with other tools."
"The initial setup process is complex for basic users."
"Where it can be improved is Integration. I think that the direction that IBM is taking now, to have something that is much more integrated, that can be seen as one single solution, is clearly the right way."
"From the testing perspective and minor enhancements perspective, customization is something that is a little tedious as compared to new tools. In addition, various open-source tools that are available are not working with IBM BPM."
"I'd like the tool to be more flexible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"IBM BPM cannot be considered a cheaply priced product. IBM BPM is a really expensive product compared to other companies. One needs to opt for the perpetual licensing model offered by IBM."
"IBM could improve the price. It is far too expensive."
"​We have definitely seen ROI. When we first kicked it off, we said it had to pay for itself within three years, and it did."
"Price wise, IBM BPM is cheaper than other similar solutions and has excellent pricing."
"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Due to its extensive features and capabilities, the product pricing is more aligned with medium—to large enterprises."
"The pricing is quite high, I would rate it two out of five."
